Many families move to Houston's surrounding communities for the schools.

Above are the highest-rated public elementary campuses in Houston-area districts that have the best reviews, student-teacher ratio and highest scores for standardized testing, according to Niche, an education-grading website.

We only listed schools that received an "A+" grade. For larger school districts like Fort Bend and Cypress-Fairbanks ISDs, we listed three of the top schools. Districts with no "A+" rated elementary schools will not appear on the list.
